How I Repaired A Hydraulic Jack. 

Thank you Chris buddy, I really appreciate it!

This is useless how can you make video with silence 😢

​@@AJRestoration⁸

You got it 😄

Without that stuff then there no video

Works a charm!

Gives more leverage too

My pleasure!

You're right! Stupid, annoying music has ruined many videos.I don't understand why people think that they just have to put music on a video.

Me too these type of videos with just the sounds of the process are the most captivating, btw do you have to strip it down this far to repair it?

I'd use that monkey wrench hanging on the tool board

I have used a long handled pipe wrench or a big assed Crescent wrench.

Yes, that for us visual learners, it's the best for me too.😃

Glad you enjoyed it, and good luck!

Oh wow, I wish I knew this before. Thank you, Jerry!

well -- depending on how much one is used - hydro oil has much more antishear and antifoaming agents - and would flow much easier it is said - and why would not a good 30 weight oil be as good if using oil - - a small pump does not need a flow rate additive - nor does it need a more expensive oil - if lazy people would change the oil more often - they could use anything - diesel fuel will even work - if it had additives - it could last forever - just a thought - they were selling replacement oil at harbor freight for a dollar - now Im sure it is 2 dollars -- ahahahahaha - i have a lot of old jacks - 50 tons even - did not know hydro oil was worse than the others for nature - must be some of the additives - cause oil is oil - and most studies on syns have not had enough studies - only that they last longer so they are better - we use less over time - oil company's are the only ones really doing the studies - and they are of course all LIARS -- ahahahaha --- paying trillions to cover up their facts and mistakes - even plastics - beings they are made from petroleum are said to cause cancer - hemp is said to be the best oil on the market - and with additives - they too can last years even --- the oil company's have paid tons to keep it off the market - even though it causes no harm to the environment --- but anyway -- ahahahahaha

@@user-du7pe6pm7d foaming is not an issue as hydraulic tanks are pressurized before feeding the hydraulic pumps, antishear also isn't an issue especially with synthetic oil because hydraulic pumps use butterfly valves to generate pressure and they are made from brass, hydraulic cylinders use seals they never touch metal to metal. We actually found that replacing hydraulic oil with 15w40 was much softer on the insides of the hydraulic hoses, they often started to peel from the inside as the hydraulic oil was eating them away. Nonetheless we switched to Castrol biobar duo environmental rules in many countries (I do maintenance for marine excavators the BA1100 in particular but also a liebherr 995 and the liebherr 994 is now replaced with an Hitachi)

Will 15 w40 or mineral oil work on a snow plow ?

@@miman-ck9jv for hydraulics ? yes

Thank you very much!

how did it go?

Thanks for watching!

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you! Cheers!

Solo comento que la prueba que hizo, comprobando que la pieza estaa averiada no tenía el fluído pór lo tanto sin él no funcionaría ni nueva q' sea.

That is great to know! Thank you very much!

Thank you too!

Ok that's cool

Thanks Andy! It is a little refreshing to see something in its current state that works a charm. 👍

Glad it helped buddy! Thank you for the feedback!

Good luck with the jack! I hope this helped.

Glad to hear it!

Is that seller still in business and do you have a name for him?

It's been about ten years since I ordered the kit from him. I remember his business was at his home in Belmont Shores, CA. I remember his location because it took about ten working days to get the parts to me, just 12 miles away.

The main seal was leaking a little, a quick fix would be to add oil, but I wanted to see what it looks like inside haha

Where.iwillget, jack, spare

The real tricky part is rebuilding the Jack handle.😄

Well now I know what the inside of a jack looks like I won't have to take it apart, I'll just add oil if it leaks a little. =)

Great pictorial but these things are so cheap nowadays it’s not worth the time to do this.

Thanks! 👍

Thanks again!

Thank you too buddy!

Glad it helped!

Thank you! 😊

Thanks!

You got that right!

@@AJRestoration yeah buddy 😎 . some of the people would say Chuck the one that is broken and buy a new one . You on other hand take a broken one of those and fix it saving the money 💵 to use for other stuff

I hate throwing things in the trash if it could be fixed or restored. That is why the metal recycling yard is my playground haha

Sorry to hear that, yes this is a rather time consuming process. In that case buying a new one is the better option, they are really cheap to buy new most of the time.

Glad you enjoyed it

Hahahaha they work a charm!

Thank you!

I am glad you liked the video, I agree, I also don't really trust most things that comes from china, especially if its something that can kill you.

Thank you! Cheers!

Thank you very much!

My plesier!

Welcome!

Haha I hope your still works, it probably does haha. These things rarely fail.

@@AJRestoration unfortunately it can only lift halfway and doesn't hold when under load.

Thanks for the visit

Most welcome 😊

You're welcome 😊
